Krabi is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Thailand. Located in he southern Thailand, Krabi is approximately 800 kilometers away from Bangkok. Krabi is famous for its natural beauty including white sandy beaches, fascinating coral reefs, numerous large and small islands with beautiful beaches suitable for snorkelling and scuba diving. Krabi also posses rain forests with caves and waterfalls. Unlike its big neighbor Phuket which is crowded, Krabi offers a quiet and comfortable atmosphere which is perfect for relaxation. You won’t find many massage parlours or discos in Krabi. If you are more into night life and fun, phuket or Bangkok is the right place for you. Krabi is for those who appreciate the beauty of nature and for those love to relax on white sandy beaches away from crowd. But this doesnt mean that Krabi is short of modern facilities. You can get excellent hotels in Krabi with swimming pools, bath tubs and they serve you clean and delicious American and Thai food. Or if you prefer to stay in resorts, Krabi got them too. Some of the private island resorts in Krabi are highly expensive that even an upper class Thai like me can’t afford them. Here is a list of affordbale Krabi Hotels for you choose.
Here is a photo I took from Krabi when I visited Krabi during December 2006. I will post more photos of Krabi suring the coming days.

The word SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. I am not an SEO expert. But I am not a newbie on the subject learning a lot about seo from forums like Digital Point. I know there are seo experts in Bangkok and if I search on google I can even see a site called seo bangkok.com Not sure how good they are doing with their seo work in Bangkok. Anyway I wish them all the best. But this is not the main reason I decided write about seo Bangkok. It is the latest google PR update.
For those who doesn’t know, PR is Page Rank, a value between 0 to 10 assigned by google for each webpage to determine the importance of a webpage. A higher value in PR means a higher quality page. The PR value can be found on the google tool bar. Though a higher PR value itself is not much of importance, webmasters around the world rely on PR value for their link building efforts. I must admit that, I have also given much importance to PR value in my seo efforts for Bangkok Baby. Every three months or so, google updates the PR value shown in the google tool bar. This year webmasters who are crazy about seo and PR noticed a changes in tool bar PR value from the second week of January 2007. But so far, there was no change in PR for Bangkokbaby. When I am writing this post this site still stays at PR1 though the site got many quality back links. Sad to see my seo efforts haven’t found any results. But I hope I will eventually win.

During this new year eve, I was at Hong Kong with my friend. Hong Kong time is one hour ahead of Thailand. After the countdown at Hong Kong, I called my friend at Bangkok to wish her happy new year and what I received was a bad news. She said, there was a series of bomb blasts on 31st at various parts of Bangkok and police alerted the public to avoid all gatherings and parties to avoid further problems to public. She sounded very sad. Next day, I came to know that 3 people died in Bangkok bomb blast and around 38 people injured. I felt really sad. Couple of months ago, we had a military coup in Bangkok and not even a single gun shot occurred and it was completely non-violent. I think, no other country in the recent history had such a peaceful military coup. I was proud of the peace loving people of my country.
But this bomb blast is really bad. This hurt all of us who love our country and people. I reached back Thailand on 1st January 2007 evening. On my way back to home from Bangkok airport, the taxi driver told me that, one “farang lady” lost her legs at Bangkok world trade center during the Bangkok bomb blast. I felt terribly sorry for her. The foreign lady might have come to Bangkok to celebrate her new year with her loved ones and look what happened to her. So far, nobody has a clue on who is behind these bomb blasts. Who ever it is, my plea is, please do not do this to Thailand. We, Thai people are peace loving people who only know to love others. We don’t want to spread hatred here. Lets make love, not war!
